Bottling Notes:
The Glendronach Port Wood is inspired by the historic import of casked port into Scotland during the 19th century. During the 1800’s port was ‘de rigueur’, and many of the finest port pipes would travel from Portugal, down it’s Douro River, destined for the wine cellars of Scotland’s gentry.
Some of the finest port pipes have been selected to enrich The Glendronach for a second maturation period. Rachel Barrie, Master Blender has expertly combined the whisky from these port pipes, to create a fruit-filled expression with layers of ripe berries rolling into its signature long, lingering finish.
Cask Type: Sherry Cask & Finished in Port Pipes
Unpeated
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Breathe in delightful waves of Victoria plum, bramble and strawberry jam with top notes of cherry blossom and honeysuckle on a base of saddle wood and ginger.
Palate: Layers of rich fruits, sip blackberry and roasted apple crumble with fresh baked gingerbread, developing into a baked orange and black cherry back-note.
Finish: Savoury orange peel, sultana and cherry cake, lingering into the richly fruity finish.
